Obama Adviser Admits Preventing Trump From Running in 2024 Would ‘Rip the Country Apart’

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod warned that Democrat efforts to prevent former President Donald Trump from running in the 2024 presidential elections risks tearing the country apart.

“I have very, very strong reservations about all of this,” Axelrod told CNN’s OutFront host Erin Burnett.

“I do think it would rip the country apart if he were actually prevented from running because tens of millions of people want to vote for him.”

“I think if you’re going to beat Donald Trump, you’re going to probably have to do it at the polls,” he continued.

Axelrod, who served as Obama’s senior adviser from 2009-2011, went on to explain how the Democrats’ lawfare strategy is playing into Trump’s hands given part of his platform rests on exposing the corrupt bureaucracy that’s weaponizing government power to target him and his supporters.

“A lot of the motivation for [Trump’s] candidacy was as a legal defense strategy,” Axelrod said. “He wanted to set up a construct…which says that they’re coming after him because he’s running for president and they’re trying to prevent him from being president.”

Axelrod further lamented that the Democrats’ political “experiment” of repeatedly indicting Trump ahead of the election has only fueled his momentum.

“We’ve run this experiment, he’s only gained since he started getting indicted,” Axelrod noted. “What you thought might be kryptonite for him has turned out to be battery packs, and this is a big one for him.”

“All of this is strengthening him in the Republican primary,” he added.

This comes after Maine’s radical left Secretary of State Shenna Bellows unilaterally removed Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot

Bellows cited news reports and YouTube clips as a basis for her unprecedented undemocratic action, which even CNN ridiculed.

Bellows’ action comes on the heels of the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling that Trump was barred from appearing on the state’s 2024 ballot because he “incited an insurrection” on January 6, 2021.

The U.S Supreme Court is set to weigh in on that ruling as Democrats in California, New York and other blue states also prepare to boot Trump from their state ballots using the 14th Amendment insurrection argument.

Axelrod said he “expects” the Supreme Court “will leave him on the ballot.”

Trump has since been placed back on the Colorado ballot pending the Supreme Court review.

Depends on the MAGA turnout and the Democrat margin-of-cheating.

The UN puppeteers Team Obama, Team Obama puppeteers Team Poopy-Diapers (Biden).

Agenda 21 isn't a conspiracy theory. It required that the election be stolen in the previous year, 2020.

RIPPING THE COUNTRY APART IS ALL PART OF THE PLAN!

I think the country is sufficiently divided already. Just sitting here waiting for the fireworks to pop off.

I think Trump should concede. He is receiving too much flak. He should concede and throw his support to Tucker Carlson. Hollywood stars would then threaten to leave the planet.

We would be an inch away from civil war, if Trump isn’t on the ballot.
Not the kind of civil war we have seen in the past, shooting each other on the fields. It would take another form, making America ungovernable.
Thats why, there is zero chance that Trump will not be on the ballot.
Nothing to worry about.

You are a Deep State zombie Freeper. You have only posted 50 times total since October of 2023 and your only comment before that was a single comment in 2011 - a total of 12 years ago. 51 stupid comments in 12 years. I suspect that somebody with a password spoofing program has managed to reactivate this account and that you are nothing but a paid propagandist.

FOAD you zombie, undead, revenant corpse.

Fear and/or graft entrenched blockages to all our previously tried stop gaps????,

Axelrod is a scum bag of the first order.

But he’s right about this.

#1 First Obama took America into the post-racial era where there are no street lootings, arson and BLM vandalism of cars.

#2Then Biden as promised brought Americans into harmony ——
“Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, the projected winner of the U.S. presidency, pledged to be “a president who seeks not to divide, but unify” the country during an address to the nation Saturday night from Wilmington, Delaware. Nov 7, 2020

#3 Axelrod——current ballot position denial of Trump will rip the country apart.

Maybe we should believe #3.

If the left thinks they’re going to force Biden on us again then they better be ready for anything. I don’t think they are.

Probably? That implies that they're considering other alternatives to beat him at the polls.
